    The APFT Aftermath

    Friday, June 13, 2008, 12:06 PM CST [General]

    To take a line from the Bernstein Bears "Weekend at Grandma's" book, I can feel it in my bones.

    For some reason, I nailed the push ups, which was unexpected, at 70%.  A total of 50 in 2 minutes.

    I knew the situps were challenging, considering I am "top heavy", which is a nice way to put it, 42 in 2 minutes (50%+).

    Then, on the run, my first mile was great.  I hit it in about 7:30.  But on the way back, I did the worst thing you can do...

    I started walking.  A big no, no.  BUT, I hung in there and sprinted the last tenth of a mile at 18:46 total.

    So, 41% was my ending score for the run, which is much better than my 25 minute effort 9 months ago.

    I think overall, I hit a number that will yield a prize, but I am just glad to have done well in each category.

    Can't wait for some of the pics to begin circulating...

    I don't know how I produced 35 pushups when in training I could only do 30. Must have been all that sweaty competitive testosterone and adrenaline that brings out the champion in all of us :)
